Teaching the 'Why' in Player Development
Shyft Mindset
Our vision is to bridge the gap between training and game performance.
At Shyft Hockey, we believe real growth happens when players understand the “why” behind their development. Our research-driven, professional approach creates training sessions that replicate real game situations, helping athletes not only build skills but also learn when and how to apply them in competition. Every aspect of our development is intentional, ensuring that the transition from practice to play is seamless and natural. By developing both the mind and body, we give players a deeper understanding of the game and prepare them to compete with confidence, clarity, and success – all while creating a challenging, engaging, and fun learning experience.
“The communication between myself and the staff is what really helped me take a step in my game. Both Matt and Kane are very accommodating and will mold the sessions and drills to what the player needs and what they’ll see in an actual game. I will continue to work with Shyft hockey and look forward to being back on the ice with them every summer!”
"Kane & Matt at Shyft have done a great job helping break down areas I need to improve and work on in the off-season. Shyft has helped me grow my game in many areas and I have felt that translate into my performance these past few seasons."
“I can’t say enough great things about Matt and Kane and the impact they’ve had on my development. Their deep knowledge of the game, attention to detail, and ability to break down the skills in an engaging way have made a huge difference. Not only do they run great skates but they’re always trying to find new ways to improve my game.”
“I’ve been working with Kane and Tass the past 5 summers now in the off-season. They’re always looking to elevate our skates by helping us develop the right skills and habits that will actually transfer to a game. They really do it all being around the game as long as they have and I always look forward to being back on the ice with them in the summer.”
